Morphology
Enneagram = ennea + gram
The word is built from Greek combining forms meaning 'nine' (ennea-) and 'written/figure' (-gram), so the components relate to the sense, but these combining forms are not familiar productive English morphemes for an average learner, making the relation only partially accessible.
Etymology
Enneagram comes from Greek parts ennea 'nine' and gram 'drawing', the same gram you see in diagram. So, an Enneagram is like a 'nine-drawing', a nine-point picture used to show nine linked personality types.
